E pluribus unum was one of the first national mottos of the United States of America. Translated from Latin, it means "From many, one" or "Out of many, one" (e=out of, from; pluribus=many; unum=one). It referred to the integration of the 13 independent colonies into one united country, and has taken on an additional meaning, given the pluralistic nature of American society from immigration. The motto itself has thirteen letters.

Out of many, one. Al Gore, a few years back, got it wrong and said Out of one- many. I never laughed at a politician so hard.

Literally
"Out of many, one"
Basically it means you are stronger united than as separate entities ... as in USA against separate states
